With all the news of educations trials and tribulations, the ‘thank you’ part is often overlooked:
Thank you to teachers who spend their free time working for and thinking about school, students and what more can be done to make education more interesting and relevant.
Thank you to classroom assistants and volunteers for their hours spent helping students reach higher goals.
Thank you to parents for making education a priority in their own lives as in the lives of their children.
Thank you to our local communities for supporting education, our states for finding funding to keep our educational system strong and our country for keeping a focus on education.
True, each one of us, individuals or agencies associated with education, can do more. True, there are huge obstacles and monetary concerns. But, as long as we keep talking about our concerns, education stays in our view. Keep the conversation going. It’s silence that will create our biggest problem.
